I watched Top Secret! for like the third time. It's so funny! They don't make 'em like that any more. Unless they do: in which case, please tell me the title!

24 comments, zero about the American/Israeli genocide. Stay classy yanks!

Trump brought nothing but fear

trumps only vision is division

I thought it was funny how Trump was just nodding along while Harris was saying that people often leave his rallies due to boredom. Also, him basically outright saying that immigration has never happened in the history of the country, along with the other nonsensical things he's said.

His fans will say he won and looked powerful. He didn’t, but they won’t care.

Wish he’d been pressed more about killing the immigration bill. Every time he complained about it, remind him that he killed the immigration bill.

Wish Orban wasn’t a diplomatic conflict. Trump saying Orban endorsed him should have been a liability but you probably can’t outright call him a wannabe dictator.

I doubt it changes the mind of too many people who already had a preference, but maybe a few hopefully. Somehow there are undecided people, I hope they saw it plainly. I don’t think there was much that will hurt Harris from it. She performed very well.

She was articulate, well-spoken, performed well unscripted, and next to Trump she looked like she had her shit very together.

ABC gave Trump a massive handicap but he still managed to shoot himself in the foot a few times. Even the moderator roasted him once or twice.

I am here for transgender alien prison surgeries

Throwing all the taking points into a bucket. I bet those prisoners are also learning critical race theory.

Has anyone seen Fido?

He’s a compulsive liar who’s angry at things he’s fabricated for his own benefit. How the fuck is he even being considered for the job?

Pain, absolute pain. Can we please not have another debate?

We can tie that in with shorter campaign seasons too.

The LWV (League of Woman Voters) sponsored the United States presidential debates in 1976, 1980 and 1984.[60][61] On October 2, 1988, the LWV's 14 trustees voted unanimously to pull out of the debates, and on October 3 they issued a press release condemning the demands of the major candidates' campaigns. LWV President Nancy Neuman said that the debate format would "perpetrate a fraud on the American voter" and that the organization did not intend to "become an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American public."[62][63] All presidential debates since 1988 have been sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates,[64] a bipartisan organization run by the two major parties that some argue has established rules with the intent to exclude airing candidates associated with other parties.[65]

The moderator are giving Trump so much time. They won't control him at all.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, and he still lost handedly. That extra time was all rambles and nonsense. I think in the end it was better.

(Yes, I still would have preferred they muted him, ultimately).

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What does it mean to lose? I guarantee that Trump supporters disagree.

Absolutely bonkers they won't enforce the rules. Mute his mic and ignore him.

got the feeling he is not using it for his own benefit

This is the funniest shit I've ever seen.

I knew Harris would wipe the floor, but this is incredible.

The immigrants are eating our pets\s

[–] [email protected] 86 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It would be funnier if there wasn't a sizeable percentage of people who support the cheetoh. There is still a real chance of that demented racist pos winning come november.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago (9 children)

With any luck, that number just got smaller, even if by just a little bit.

Something I noticed is that even Twitter was making fun of Trump. I never thought I'd see that happen.

EXECUTE THE BABY was trending for at least a little bit

I couldn't be bothered to figure out how to watch it, did anything happen?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's on YouTube, on abc's news live video. It's still going on, but is probably almost over

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Appreciate the recommendation. I'll watch when I finally finish my last shift of the day.
